Hughton and backroom staff.

Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:25 pm

This morning on Victor Chandler Chris Hughton was at 7/1. Now he's at 17/20.
On Skybet he was at 9/1. He's now at 5/6.
And finally William Hill have dropped their odds on Hughton from 7/1 to Evens.

I know Skybet is a bit shit, but the other two seem legit. The odds have dropped big time and it's only a matter of time before he's announced!

This also means we can expect an overhaul of the backroom staff too, as Hughton likes to work with specific people (it got in the way of him going to West Brom).

Would you be said to see Burton and the like go?

Sends out another message too....

If Hughton has been interviewed and has stressed he has his own team...
knowing the upheaval involved... if Vincent Tan is willing to ship out all
of DJ's 'backroom' staff....

He is most DEFINITELY not taking any half measures :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

17/20 is not short odds at all for example Dave Jones was 4/7 for the West Ham Job and didnt get it but when the whispers started for Sam Allardyce to get the Hammers Job his odds tumbles rapidly down to 1/10. So what I am saying is hold your horses nothings done yet.
